From his love of Hallmark movies to all things holiday, Zach Golubski knew he wanted to work at Bath & Body Works, a place where the holiday season comes to life through fragrance. He was so passionate for all things Bath & Body Works, he even tried applying for a seasonal holiday associate role at the age of 12. Zach eventually joined the company, initially in a temporary role, supporting their semi-annual sale.
“There wasn’t a single person when I came in that didn’t give me a hand when I needed it that day,” said Zach. “There’s constant coaching coming from a place of growth.”
Now five years in, Zach continues to see his fellow associates show up for each other and he’s thankful for all the opportunities he’s had to grow with Bath & Body Works. In his current role as Assistant Store Manager in Wilmington, North Carolina, he continues to share with others the value of asking questions and leaning on each other to advance the company’s learning culture.
“Every day is going to be different – in terms of what you see and how the customer is feeling,” said Zach. “If you need guidance, there are several managers ready to support you.”
As Zach progressed into managerial roles, he’s enjoyed the opportunity to meet, connect and collaborate with other store leaders in his region. Bringing together insights from the wider Bath & Body Works network continues to build his own leadership skills.
Working at Bath & Body Works also helped Zach pursue his creative interests. The immersive store experience helped Zach develop a trained eye for design, even inspiring him to make changes to how his own apartment is set up.
Looking ahead, Zach is excited for the holiday season and finds motivation in the company’s value around putting customers first in his day-to-day work.
“I think what makes the Bath & Body Works approach to holidays unique is that they really put the customer first – they’re constantly asking us [in stores] to give feedback, and we’re able to test what’s working,” said Zach. “For instance, we just launched a new round of fall fragrances and collected feedback on how Pumpkin Pecan Waffle was doing.”
We’re so grateful for the passion and customer-focused mindset Zach brings to the company every day. Interested in a future with Bath & Body Works? You can apply online at bbwjobs.com or text BBWJOBS to 97211.
